About me

Data Scientist | Business Intelligence | Quantitative Researcher | Financial Analytics

I am a data scientist with a strong interest in the financial, quantitative research, education, and health industries. The reason I am now seeking a full-time role is deeply personal: my newborn daughter. Becoming a father recently has been the most meaningful experience of my life, and she is my greatest motivation to build a stable and impactful career in data science — a career where I can provide her the best while doing work I truly love.

Before this, I worked as a freelance quantitative research analyst, combining my passion for the markets (I’ve always enjoyed challenging environments) with the data science and research skills I taught myself. My self-learner mindset and problem-solving ability were essential for the tasks in this role.

Earlier in my journey, I was COO and CFO of a Financial Education startup. I was given equity to join, and over time I put my skills as a team builder and motivator into practice. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company thrived as demand for online courses skyrocketed. But once the pandemic ended, sales dropped sharply, and I decided it was time to move on.

I began my career at Accenture, first as an intern and later as a project manager in Business Intelligence. That experience gave me a strong foundation analytical work, workflow process and project budget & time management. My biggest strength in this role was my ability to consistently deliver the projects I was assigned — a skill that has followed me during my career.
